Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson (dhh) describes the current AI agent era as "nirvana" for anyone with endless ideas, as they are met with endless execution and exploration. He states he's never had more fun working with computers.
Researcher DeryaTR strongly agrees, reminiscing about the magical feeling of typing code into his first computer 40+ years ago. He believes AI coding agents have scaled that sense of exploration and creation up by about a millionfold.
